Definitions
- the present invention refers to a strap buckle with self-locking function incorporating a frame shaped holder with a shaft provided between the opposite inner long sides of the frame, about which shaft is pivotably supported a double-armed locking member, which is adapted to cooperate with one end gable of the frame, thereby locking a part of a strap situated between the locking member and said end gable, and which locking member under actuation of an external force is pivotable about the shaft against action of a resilient member.
- the lock has a self-locking function, i.e. that it arrests the strap part arranged therein for as long as the lock is unaffected by external forces.
- This self-locking is commonly effected by a locking member arranged in conventional manner upon a shaft, which locking member is biased by a spring to be pressed against locking position, when unaffected.
- clamps or strap buckles of this kind has drawbacks in that they consist of at least three main parts, which at assembly require a considerably cost-increasing manual work, as the three main parts, one of which is usually a metallic spring, can hardly be assembled in automatic machines.
- the spring furthermore must be of a high-quality metallic material in order not to suffer from fatigue after a period of use or becoming damaged e.g. from salt water or at washing together with an article of clothing.
- the resilient member consists of a central stamped-out tounge in the locking member, which on the other side of the shaft projects outside the holder.
- the bigger diameter of the oval shaft hereby will force the tounge away from the other portions of the locking member and produce a force, striving to pivot the locking member to locking position. Due to the open design there however is a risk that the locking member can fall off the shaft, when the member is in open position. It furthermore must be considered highly probable that the stamped-out tounge after a rather small number of opening and closing movements may be deformed and/or fatigued so much that it can not guarantee a satisfactory locking effect.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a strap buckle of the type mentioned in the introductory part of the specification, which consists of a minimum of parts easily assembled in automatic machines and which also in other respects eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of earlier strap buckles, and this has been achieved in that both arms of the two-armed locking member are situated inside the outer frame of the holder, that the locking member is provided with a transverse groove arranged between its arms and having a non-round, oblong cross-section, that the shaft is designed with a non-round, elongated cross-sectional shape mainly corresponding to that of the groove, that the resilient member is an integral part of the locking member, whereby the portions about the groove are elastically resilient, and that the holder as well as the locking member are manufactured from plastic material and are held together solely by that the locking member with its groove is fixed by being snapped upon the shaft of the holder.
- FIG. 1 shows in perspective a strap buckle according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a section along line II--II in FIG. 1, with straps thread into the strap buckle.
- FIG. 3 is a section analogous with FIG. 2 with the locking arm in a position acted upon by an external force.
- the strap buckle according to the invention principally consists of two components, one of which being a shaft 11 and the other one a part 12 being pivotable about the shaft and being provided with a recess 13 for receiving the shaft 11.
- the shaft 11 is fixedly attached with its end portions to the frame-shaped holder is of the strap buckle 14 at two inner opposed frame sides and spaced apart from the end gables of the holder.
- a first bar 16 as an attachment for one end of a strap 17.
- a second bar 18 forming one end gable of the frame 15 and which together with the first bar 16 forms a buckle for another strap end 19.
- the other part 12 is designed as a two-armed locking member, one arm 20 of which is designed and arranged under locking to press the strap 19 against the other end gable 21 of the holder 15.
- the two arms 20,22 of the locking member 12 are situated within the outer frame 18,21 of the holder 15, and its other locking arm 22 is designed as an actuating device, by means of which the locking member under influence of a force, which in FIG. 3 is shown with the arrow A, can be pivoted about the shaft 11.
- a further bar 23 arranged at a small distance from the end gable 21 is intended to serve as a locking shoulder for limitation of the pivoting movement of the locking member and also as a reinforcement for the frame structure 15 and furthermore to form, together with the end gable 21, a buckle for the strap part 19 therein.
- the recess 13 of the locking member 12 has a non-round cross-section, e.g. oval, whereas the shaft 11 also has an oval cross-sectional shape corresponding to that of the recess.
- the recess 13 is preferably constituted by a laterally open groove, the longitudinal opening 24 of which is more narrow than the biggest inner width of the groove.
- the groove of the locking member in this manner can be snapped over the shaft 11, and the holder 15 and the locking member 12 are thereupon held assembled by said snap connection only, this being possible as the locking member is elastically resilient, made e.g.
